Poland ought to be given as much "credit" for allowing Jews into their country as any other country which offered sanction and safe haven to persecuted minorities. Sadly, Israel too see herself as a persecuted aka surrounded island in a sea of enemies, is however for that reason perhaps less than friendly to her Palestinian fellow citizens:-) Often though, it seems a bit of a rationalization.

We were discussing Poland, and I believe Poland has done more than many others in allowing (if not always welcoming) Jews along with others to live within its borders!

Poland is the ONLY country in Europe that granted Jews their own "kingdom." They had their own laws, their own courts. For a while, moslems did, too! A little too much "human rights" stuff can get you in trouble I guess.

Whereas today, nothanks, just the opposite is often the case! I know of a 100% Jewish woman hovering around her 60's from Warsaw who knows (or claims to know) NO Yiddish, only Polish as a mother tongue, plus fluent English and a smattering of high school Russian during the Communist era.

She shuns Jewish symbolism in public, looks "Polish" with high cheekbones, lightish eyes and a penchant for highly suggestive clothing. While she never wears a cross, on the streets of any Polish city, I assure you all she would be indistinguishable from any other Pole:-)

Poles deserve to be ********** because they are a pathetic weak nation of punching bags. They always try to please everyone then act surprised no one treats them seriously. They shouldn't even exist. Literally a nation of slaves.
